Pulaski Chapter Update
December 4, 2025
Greetings Compatriots,
I hope all of you had a very Happy Thanksgiving and had some time to visit with family and friends.
The next meeting of the Pulaski Chapter is Tuesday, January 20, 2026 – the meeting will be in the Pulaski Room of the Carroll County Veterans’ Center on Stripling Chapel Road in Carrollton.
The Pulaski Chapter Membership Renewal for 2026 through the Chapter is now over. Those members who submitted payment through the Pulaski Chapter Secretary/Treasurer have been renewed and the State Society report, with payment, has been dispatched. If you committed to paying through the Chapter for renewal, please fulfill your commitment. I covered those that committed to sending a check to the Chapter Secretary/Treasurer for renewal to meet the State Society deadline. If you have not mailed your payment please send it in as soon as you can. If you decided to pay online, there are several that I have not received confirmation of payment from the member, or from the State Society. Therefore, I have no idea what your disposition is at this time. If you have not made any payment at this time, you will need to use the online feature to pay your dues for 2026. If you are not sure what you need to pay, or how to pay your renewal dues to keep your membership active, please call me, text, or email me. I will not be available to answer questions after December 7, 2025 to December 30, 2025.
Thank you to all members who have renewed. Your 2026 membership cards will be available at the Chapter meeting on Tuesday, January 20, 2026. If you are unable to attend the January 20, 2026 meeting to collect your membership card - it will be mailed to you after the meeting.
If you have a change of a mailing address from last year - please send that information to the Chapter Secretary/Treasurer. We are required to update the State and National Societies regarding any change of address, phone number, etc... Thank you.
As we approach the holiday season there is one event left in which we are invited to participate.
The October Chapter meeting was the last meeting for the year 2025. The November meeting was the annual Thanksgiving/Christmas observance with the Abraham Baldwin Chapter DAR. The December meeting will be the annual Christmas Dinner with the Sweetwater Chapter of the DAR.
The Sweetwater DAR Chapter has announced that the Pulaski Chapter is invited to join them for a Christmas Season Luncheon at the Olive Tree Restaurant in Hiram, Georgia on December 6, 2025 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The cost of this meal is $30.00, and you should mail a check to Sweetwater Chapter Treasurer Brenda Christian. Contact information for Brenda: 770-262-1176; 4723 Waverly Walk, Douglasville, GA 30135.
